The $100 Hamburger

I knew this would be slightly out of date- there's no way it couldn't be, since airport restaurants come and go even more frequently than other restaurants- in fact, the airports themselves come and go. The big draw was the free subscription to the website that supposedly came with the book. I figured a hard copy with web updates would be a great way to do it. But, the book came with no subscription info and the book itself was a disappointment- it was WAY out of date, 11 years as of this writing, which is like dog years when it comes to airport restaurants.On top of that, the quality of the book is very low; it is printed on cheap paper and the print is extremely small and very hard to read. This is a budget publication at a premium price. I love the idea and have been a fan of the $100 Hamburger since its inception, even contributing a customer PIREP in the early days. Instead, I am returning the book and will go straight to the subscription, though just for a month or so to see if the info is any more up-to-date.

Would have like it better if the book was more up to date. The website isn't really kept up much better since he won't allow dates on the comments.Regardless, this is still the standard for finding restaurants close to airports.

We had an older version for years and was looking forward to a more reliable version. Well, we'd stopped at one and called another both have changed hands and were no longer recommended by the FBO. I know there are many more to try in this book, but we will call first.I do think it is a really fun concept, but I don't know how to keep it current.

You are better off going to his web site. Not very comprehensive. I would not buy again.

Very handy, found food service on or near airports I did not know about.Disappointed a little due the limited number of restraunts in CA.Othewise a good reference book for pilots.

Every VFR flight bag should have one of these.

Like food critic Ego in Ratatoille, the author weilds unnatural power over the reputations of hard working food establishments in the US. He trashes restaurants we have had delightful meals in, and gives rave reviews to those just short of ptomain. Sad. Very sad. Not balanced at all.When our concerns were expressed to the author, we were directed to his "pay-to-post" website to record our opinion. Seems a bit self-serving, no?Our suggestion would be to make up your own mind with an FAA Airport Facility Directory instead. If this book had not been a gift, I would have asked for my money back.

Excellent book... broken down into each individual state and then each city within that state that has an airport. Gives you places to eat at each of those... This is the third edition of the book. All come from pilots reports... Great book and for a small fee you can join the actual online site and keep up to date on the additions submitted.Great Book for pilots and student pilots looking for ideas on where to take cross country trips to for good food.
